widest point. In order to make himself go faster, he tried to race his own shadow as it fell on the ice
ahead him. When he was about a hallway across, crunch! – The weak ice suddenly broke beneath his
weight, and with a splash he fell through it. All the air was sucked out of his lungs by the shock of the
freezing water biting into his body, so that for twenty or thirty seconds afterwards he was not even able
to scream. Then at last he found his voice, shouted for help, and almost immediately afterwards

The view that woman are better parents than men has shown itself to be true throughout history. This
is not to say that men are not of importance in child- rearing; indeed, they are most necessary if
children are appropriate fully the roles of both sexes. But women have proven themselves superior
parents as a result of their conditioning, their less aggressive nature and their generally better
communication skills.
From the time they are little girls, females learn about nurturing. First with dolls and later
perhaps with younger brothers and sisters , girl are given the role of carer . girl s are given the role of
carer. Girls see their mothers in the same roles and so it is natural that they identify this as a female
activity. Boys, in contrast, learn competitive roles far removed from what it means to nurture. While
boys may dream of adventures, girls conditioning means they tend to see the future in terms of raising
families.
Girls also appear to be less aggressive than boys. In adulthood, it is men , not women, who
prove to be the aggressors in crime and in war. Obviously, in raising children, a more patient, gentle
manner is preferable to amore aggressive one. Although there certainly exist gentle men and
aggressive women ,by and large , female are less likely to resort to violence in attempting to solve
problems.
Finally, women tend to be better communicators than men. This is showing intelligence tests,
where females, on average, do better in verbal communication than males. Of course, communication
is of utmost importance in rearing children, as children tend to learn from and adopt the
communication styles of their parents.
Thus, while it is all very well to suggest a greater role men in children. Let us not forget that
women are generally better suited to the parenting role (SPMB 2004)
